Some ordered thoughts on Gnosis enhancements and XPath

I had dropped out of the blogging habit after Feb this year, mainly due to work pressures at office. I think it is time for me to dust out my blogging brush and start painting my blog a little bit, at least to touch up some of the loosing sheen here and there :-)

This is about a nice little utility called Gnosis utils which provides powerful XML parsing in very little code. The library is written by Dr. David Mertz who is a known authority on Python programming matters and has written some charming articles in his "Charming Python" series for IBM developerworks.

I was looking around for an XML API which provides powerful XPath parsing capabilities out of the box some time in March for a project I am doing at Spikesource. PyXML woefully lacks in this department. ElementTree, though a very good API for generic XML processing, falls short on its XPath support (no attributes etc).

Gnosis provides decent XPath support - it supports attributes, text searches but does not support attribute values, the [@attr] syntax etc.

During my work, I enhanced Gnosis XML to support some of the XPath 1.0 specs it do not support. These include,

o Support for //elem[@attr] syntax o Search attributes by value - i.e support //elem[@attr=value] syntax o Support //elem[last()] o Support XPath searches in the root node

The good thing is that I have been able to extract out the Gnosis XML processing parts to a single module and add these enhancements on top of it. I plan to enhance this with the full XPath 1.0 specifications within a month or so and release it to public domain.

I hope this will address the existing void of lightweight pure Python APIs with full XPath support. The whole thing will fit inside a single module which should make it easy to use and extend.

Wow, I stumbled into this blog post on one of my pet peeves.Just today I was wondering whether I should be using libxml's Python bindings. It's supposed to be pretty good.

In fact I was so desparate to get XPath support, at work, I wrote my own on top of the DOM support in the standard python library. Good to know that there is stuff other than Elementtree. I will check it out. But even with this, there are areas like XSLT, XQuery that are left untouched by the py libs.

I had no words to say. I just moved on top of her and hugged her right from top to bottom. My naked body wanted to feel every inch of her body, and I was caressing her all over like mad. free tiffany lolita soon began to respond with equal vigor, Her right palm reached my rigid japanese blowjob and began pumping it slowly. I was so damn horny, but I did not want to waste my semen, just masturbating. I wanted more...I wanted to fuck my cousin there and then. "Oh free lolita porn...this is too much...I don't think I can keep my promise...please let me remove your panty and let me feel my kiddy sex fuck on your pussy"...I pleaded. To my utter surprise, without any resistance, free pedo tpg raised her hips, and in a swift action removed her panty. "You will only feel your pedo russian around my pussy...not inside..OK?" Jenna Jameson Porn insisted. I almost got angry, and said "OK, but let me play with your tits at least," and moved my pedophile fucking towards her cleavage. I had no patience to seek her permission. I just pulled her bra straps and and quickly exposed he huge melons. My mouth instinctly reached her left breast while my right hand was at her right tit. I sucked her like an infant, expecting to find milk, while my palm was squeezing and kneading her other tit.

My sister and I love each other, but we fight constantly. We're always saying something rude about one other's hair, clothes, whatever, it doesn't matter, we quarrel. It's getting to the point were free celebrity sex clip will put in ear plugs if he's home with us for too long. The other night, we thought Daddy might turn us over on his knee like he did when we were younger. We were in the bathroom, standing side by side. I looked over and up at my sister; I hated the fact that she was taller than me. She stands five foot seven inches tall, and I a mere five foot even. I think I also resented the fact that she was older than me. We're two years apart, she's 21 and I'm 19. We both have red hair, blue eyes, and freckles, some people have mistaken us for twins, but we're a year apart. Our bodies are different, she doesn't have much in the way of boobs, 36A, is all her cup size is, and I tease her about it all the time. Me, my boobs are a 36D. She doesn't have much in the way of hips either, very narrow she is, and I tell her she looks like a boy, which pisses her off. I got the better body entirely, I have a very shapely figure, and no one could ever mistake me for a boy. I was telling her that she needed to change her outfit, or buy clothes that fit her better. All her clothes drape o ff of her like potato sacks; she was yelling at me, telling me that I dressed like a slut and I should be more conservative, when free childporn gallery burst through the door. "That's enough! I want to hear no more from either one of you! You are driving me insane! You two are too old for this!" My sister's first reaction is to get defensive and I let her go first. "Dad, she started it!" I looked up at Daddy sheepishly. "No I didn't Daddy. I was just being honest. I can't help it if she can't stand to hear some criticism." Daddy looked down at me. He knew what I was doing, but he always sided with me. "You aren't dressed very well at all, free cross stitch patterns." "You always side with her!" She turned and gave me a mean look and I stuck my tongue out at her. "Jessica! That's enough from you too." I put my eyes down and nodded my head. "Sorry Daddy I won't do it again." My sister humphed my way and I moved past her. I stood on my tiptoes and kissed Daddy's cheek. "Sorry to make you angry Daddy." He patted me on the head and smiled down. "It's okay Darling. I just wish you two girls would get along." "I'll try real hard Daddy." I gave him another kiss, and as I got back behind him I stuck my tongue out at my sister again. "Daddy! Look! Look what she's doing!" Daddy didn't turn around. "That's enough free digimon hentai pic! Get on out of here and go to bed!" The bickering continued of course, until there was a break when Eliza was out with her boyfriend. I was in my room, reading and listen to music, actually enjoying the fact that she wasn't at home. I really hated fighting with her, but I couldn't ever stop myself from doing it. I heard the front door close and Eliza run up the stairs. I also heard Daddy yelling. "Eliza, is everything alright?" "Fine, Daddy, everything's fine!" From the tone of her voice I knew she was okay. So, I went back to reading. I only got a few lines into the book when my door burst open and in came Eliza looking all flushed and fluttered. "What's wrong? What happened?" I fought with my sister a lot but I felt protective over her as well. "Nothing. Well, okay something happened, but it wasn't wrong." "What? You lost me somewhere in there." "Oh Jess, it was fuckin' great!" My eyes widened, my sister doesn't speak like that. "Okay, what was it? C'mon you gotta tell me!" "I did it." I watched Eliza go to the door, check the hall, and then close the door completely. "You did what?" "You know!" "No, I don't. What did you do?" "Don't make me mad! Not tonight!" "I'm not trying to make you mad; I don't know what the hell it is you're talking about." "I had sex." "Oh, that it?" "What do you mean, is that it?" "Well, by the way you came in here I thought maybe you'd had the shit fucked outta ya or something. Just having sex isn't anything special." "You've had sex before?"

The cab pulled up to an old hotel in the center of town, dropping hentai young girl off under a carport. The shiny brass and glass doors opened automatically, allowing easy access to the newly restored first floor lobby. Signs pointed out the locations of the restaurant, the beauty salon, and the prominent front desk. There was a sign by the elevator that claimed there was an Olympic pool and a new fitness center in the basement. Another sign pointed upstairs to several large banquet rooms and a mezzanine bar. The buttons inside the elevator indicated that the hotel had only six floors of guestrooms. The hotelÒs upper floors had been recently renovated; the odor of fresh paint permeated the hallways. soul calibur hentai gallery slid her plastic key into the new high-tech security lock on the door to Room 419. She slowly opened the door into her darkened room and felt the wall for the light switch. The small room was clean and the Oriental rug covering the hardwood floor was new, but according to the hotelÒs remodeling info flyer, the room still contained the original art deco furniture, which were now valuable antiques. The flyer went on to inform her that the electrical wiring had been upgraded, the phone lines were modernized and a computer system had been installed. dragon ball hentai lay her suitcase and computer bag down on the bed and looked out the window at the buildings across the street, and then she closed the drapes and set up her computer at the small desk nearby. Doris had traveled halfway across the country to meet with a man that she had fallen in love with over the Internet. He had promised to meet her when she arrived in town, but hadnÒt shown up at the airport. She knew that he lived downtown somewhere and had checked in at the only available hotel to spend the night. She hooked up her notebook computer to the phone and dialed the local number for her ISP. She found Louis flirting with another woman in the chatroom and angrily demanded to know why he had not met her at the airport. Was that today? he typed in. Yes, it was today! she typed back. IÒm sorry. IÒll make it up to you, I promise. Where are you staying? At the Hotel Sterling, downtown. I know where that is. IÒll meet you for lunch tomorrow. black sex cartoon spent a few moments chatting with Louis about her flight and cab trip while checking her email. There were only a few pieces of spam, which she deleted before shutting off her computer for the night. Doris opened her suitcase and unpacked her toothbrush and nightgown before wandering into the bathroom to get ready for bed. She stopped at the door to set the lock on security and peered out the peephole into the empty hall before entering the bathroom. Doris stared at herself in the mirror. Looking back at her was the face of too many lonely years and too few men. She was not a young woman, but she had managed to keep from looking old. She scrubbed off the dayÒs makeup and brushed her teeth. She brushed her strawberry blond hair and tied it back with an elastic band before she left the bathroom to dress for bed. Doris unzipped her dress and let it drop to the floor. Wearing only her slip, she examined the rest of herself in the mirror. Her stomach was bulging a little from age, but it was still basically flat. Doris pulled her slip off over her head and freed her pert breasts from her designer bra; her nipples stiffened from the sudden exposure to the coolness of the air-conditioned room. She slipped off her matching panties and lay down on the rug to perform her nightly stomach crunches.Hentai pics gallery
